When Powering up or Rebooting the system you might need to select the F12 key to add a removable media device. As of the end of 2016 Chrome and Firefox is ending support for NPAPI, so the Java™ Plugin no longer works. Use Internet Explorer 11 or a browser that supports NPAPI. If Remote Control does not open or a browser use one that supports NPAPI.
